Description

Three dark terracotta oil lamps lie in a row on a pale backdrop, with a ruled scale strip along the bottom edge. The left lamp has a round body with a winged figure in relief and a short handle-nozzle; the middle lamp has a leaping animal in relief on its disc, possibly a deer, with a broken rim; the right lamp is seen from above with a ring of small dotted decoration and a handle at the top. Each lamp has a filling hole in the disc.
